Not the version that should be when installing Anaconda

I have installed Anaconda 4.3.1, Python 3.6, on my Ubuntu. Now when i run Python it is saying that the version is 2.7 and not 3.6 as i wanted it to be. and there is no mention to Anaconda beside the version. I am quite sure that i installed Anaconda the right way. What could i do?

Check which python your system is using:

which python

If it is showing the system python you need to export the path to Anaconda in your ~/.bashrc file:

export PATH="/home/username/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"

After you save the file you can activate the PATH:

source ~/.bashrc

This will then always use Anaconda when you launch a new terminal.

Try using python3 in your terminal instead of python. This should start the python 3.X interpreter.

Note that other scripts like pip also have an equivalent pip3 for python 3.X.
